Why does Rick Santorum have an A+ rating with the NRA? Don’t know? I’ll show you why:
‘“He [Rick Santorum] was the most effective advocate of bringing it [legislation to protect gun companies from frivolous lawsuits] to the floor and getting a vote scheduled. He used his influence to get it to the floor. Without that, we would have lost every American gun company.”
– Wayne LaPierre, CEO – National Rifle Association, October 25, 2006’

Read that carefully, and you should see that without Rick Santorum we’d be purchasing our guns from other countries, maybe Red China.
So why did Santorum not stand up and vote against NCLB and the prescription drug plan?
